Dolfin is thrilled to welcome Melanie Margalis to its team of pro athletes. Fresh off her success at the Athens Sectionals in Georgia this July – Margalis finished with the fourth-fastest 200 IM time in the world this year and won the 50 free. She was eager to share her love of the “fun” and “fast” Dolfin products. Margalis said, “I’m excited to wear Dolfin’s practice suits and racing suits in vivid colors that help keep swimming fun. My favorite is the purple Titanium. I’m extremely thankful to work with such a great company who understands the role they play in making swimming enjoyable for its athletes.”

Margalis has been a rising star on the American swimming scene for a long time. While at Countryside High School in Clearwater, FL, Margalis was a three-time state champion and a state record holder in the 200 IM. Highlights from her decorated college career as a Georgia Bulldog include: being selected as team captain, setting the school records in multiple events and qualifying for the 2012 United States Olympic Trials in five events. She’s a great student as well – earning numerous honor roll and student-athlete recognitions.

Margalis will be training in Dolfin swimwear in Athens, GA for the 2016 Games in Rio. Over the next year she will also be teaching clinics as part of the Fitter and Faster Swim Tour Presented by Swimoutlet.com. “Margalis is a favorite to make the American team in Rio and we are thrilled to be teamed up with this standout athlete,” says Dolfin VP of Sales, Matt Zimmer.
